1 Safety instructions
ATTENTION
Wrong assembled or damaged lifting points as well
as improper use can lead to injuries of persons and
damage of objects when load drops.
Please inspect all lifting points before each use.
• Remove all body parts (ngers, hands, arms, etc.) out of the
hazard area (danger of crushing or squeezing) during the
lifting process.
• RUD VWBG-V lifting points must only be used by instruc-
ted and competent persons considering BGR 500 / DGUV
100-500 and outside Germany noticing the country specic
statutory regulations.
• Do not exceed the working load limit (WLL) indicated on the
lifting point (except vertical loading - see chart 3).
• Not suitable for permanent turning operations under load.
Lifting point cannot be turned 90° to the bolt-on direction
under full load.
• The ball bearing resp. the bush bearing disc must not be
disassembled.
• The load ring must not be bend.
• No technical alterations must be implemented on the VWBG-V.
• No people may stay in the danger zone.
• Jerky lifting (strong impacts) should be prevented.
• Always ensure a stable position of the load when lifting.
Swinging must be prevented.
• Damaged or worn VWBG-V must never be utilised.
2 Intended use of VWBG-V
RUD VWBG-V lifting points must only be used for the assembly
at the load or at lifting means.
They are intended to be hinged into lifting means and can be
turned under load, but not under full load, especially not in the 90°
direction. Not suitable for permanent turning operations under load.
RUD VWBG-V lifting points can also be used as lashing points
to attach lashing means.
RUD VWGB-V lifting points must only be used in the hereby
described operation purpose.
3 Assembly- and instruction manual
3.1 General information
• Capability of temperature usage:
Usage at higher temperatures is not recommended due to
the grease lling in the ball bearing. Should this though be
necessary, the working load limit (WLL) of the VWBG-V must
be reduced as follows:
- -40°C up to 100°C no reduction
- 100°C up to 200°C minus 15 %
- 200°C up to 250°C minus 20 %
- 250°C up to 350°C minus 25 %
- Temperatures exceeding 350°C are prohibited!
Please pay attention when using DIN EN 7042 (DIN 980)
nuts the max. operation temperature of 150°C (acc. to
DIN EN ISO 2320).
• RUD VWBG-V lifting points must not be used with aggres-
sive chemicals such as acids, alkaline solutions and their
vapours.
• Please mark mounting position of lifting point with a coloured
contrast paint for better visibility.
3.2 Hints for the assembly
Basically essential:
• The material construction to which the lifting point will be
attached should be of adequate strength to withstand forces
during lifting without deformation. The German testing au-
thority BG, recommends the following minimum for the bolt
lengths:
1 x M (thread diameter) in steel (min. quality 235JR [1.0037])
1.25 x M (thread diameter) in cast iron (e.g. GG 25)
2 x M (thread diameter) in aluminium
2.5 x M (thread diameter) in light alloys of low strength
(M = thread size/diameter, e.g. M20)
• When lifting light metals, nonferrous metals and gray cast
iron the thread has to be chosen in such a way that the WLL
of the thread corresponds to the requirements of the base
material.
• The position of the lifting points must be carried out in such
a way that unintended movement like turning or ipping will
be avoided.
• For single leg lifts, the lifting point should be ver-
tically above the centre of gravity of the load.
• For two leg lifts, the lifting points must be equidi
stant to/or above the centre of gravity of the load.
• For three and four leg lifts, the lifting points should
be arranged symmetrical around the centre of gravi-
ty, in the same plane if possible.
• Load symmetry:
Determine the necessary WLL of each lifting point for a
symmetrical or an unsymmetrical load by using the following
physical calculation formula:
WLL = necessary WLL of lifting point / single strand
G = weight of load
n = number of load bearing strands
ß = inclination angle of single strand
G
n x cos ß
WLL=
Number of load bearing strands:
Symmetric Unsymmetric
two leg 2 1
three / four leg 3 1
Chart 1: Load bearing strands
• A plane bolt-on surface (with a minimum ØD) with a perpen-
dicular thread hole must be guaranteed. The thread must
be carried out acc. to DIN 76 (countersink max. 1.05xd).
• Thread holes must be machined deep enough so that the
bearing surface of the lifting point will be supported. Machine
through holes up to DIN EN 20273-middle.
• Due to the ball bearing and the bush bearing it is su󰀩cient
for a single lift to tighten the VWBG-V until the bearing
surface has support by using a spanner acc. to DIN 895
resp. DIN 894, without using an extension.
If the VWBG-V shall permanently installed at the load,
tensioning must be carried out with a torque (+/- 10 %)
according to chart 2.
• The type VWBG-V can be supplied with di󰀨erent thread
lengths (see Fvario in chart 2), and the metric versions with
washer und crack detected nut.
The assembly resp. the installation of bolts with di󰀨erent
thread lengths is only allowed, if camed out by either RUD
or an authorized RUD distributor.
ATTENTION
Disassembly of the ball bearing resp. the bush
bearing disc carried out by the user is forbidden.
• Check nally the correct assembly (see chapter 4, Inspection /
repair).
• The VWBG-V must not be loaded with the Manufacturing
Proof Force MPF (2.5 x WLL). Should at the production of
lifting means or similar products, a singular proof loading be
necessary, please ask RUD in advance.

VWBG-V 3
3.3 User instructions
• Check frequently and before each operation the whole lifting
mean in regard of linger ability as a lifting mean, regarding
corrosion, wear, deformation etc. (see chapter 4, Inspection /
repair).
ATTENTION
Wrong assembled or damaged lifting means
as well as improper use can lead to injuries of
persons and damage of objects when load falls.
Please inspect all lifting points before each use.
• RUD components are designed according to DIN EN 818
and DIN EN 1677 for a dynamic load of 20,000 load cycles.
• Keep in mind that several load cycles can occur with a
lifting procedure
• Keep in mind that, due to the high dynamic stress with
high numbers of load cycles, that there is a danger that
the product will be damaged
• The BG/DGUV recommends: For higher dy-
namic loading with a high number of load cycles
(continuous operation), the working load stress
must be reduced according to the driving mecha-
nism group 1Bm (M3 in accordance with DIN EN
818-7). Use a lifting point with a higher working load
limit.
• VWBG-Vs are suitable for turning and ipping of loads.
In doing so, all positions of the ring can occur. The stated
WLL at the lifting point is given for the most inappropriate
possible case of operation (see picture 8 - part X). When
ring has been adjusted manually (see part Y) the higher
(WLL) values from chart 3 can be used
ATTENTION
Pay attention during the usage that the
load type will not be change.
If the VWBG-V is will be loaded only perpendicular (in axial
direction of the thread, see picture 8 - part Z) the corresponding
WLL values from chart 3 (inclination angle 0°) can be used.
• The ring of the manually adjusted VWBG-V can be pivoted
by approx. 230° (see picture 1, page 3).
ATTENTION
The suspension ring resp. the attached lifting mean
must rotate and pivot without interference during
lifting and must neither have support at the load
edge nor at the bottom part of the VWBG-V (see
picture 2, page 3).
Pic. 1:
Pivoting area /
Pic. 2:
Forbidden contact
or support at/or with

ca. 230°
• When lifting means (sling chains) are hinged or unhinged,
no pinching, shearing or joint spots must occure during the
handling. Avoid damage of lifting means resulting from sharp
edges.
• Leave direct danger zone as far as possible.
• Watch always your hinged loads.
• VWBG-V must have been fully bolted in (Pic. 3).
Pic.3: VWBG-V must have been fully bolted
in
• Thread of the VWBG-V must be completely engaged and
the lifting point must be installed full-faced. (The diameter
of the bearing surface must be ≥ D, see Pic. 4 / chart 2).
Pic. 4: The diameter of the bearing surface
   mustbe≥D
• Avoid impulsive and tiltful loading.
ATTENTION
Impulsive loading or vibration, especially at through
hole connections with nuts, can lead to unintentional
loosening.
Securing possibilities: liquid thread securing products f.e.
Loctite (read manufacturer´s instruction) or form closed bolt
securing such as a crown nut with split pin, lock nut etc.
can be used. Secure in general all lifting points which are
installed permanently, e.g. with glue.
• Please observe for the whole lifting mean the RUD sling
chain safety instruction.
4 Inspection / repair
4.1 Hints for periodical inspections
The operator must determine and specify the nature and scope
of the required tests as well as the periods of repeating tests
by means of a risk assessment (see sections 4.2 and 4.3).
The continuing suitability of the anchor point must be checked
at least 1x year by an expert.
Depending on the usage conditions, f.e. frequent usage, in-
creased wear or corrosion, it might be necessary to check in
shorter periods than one year. The inspection has also to be
carried out after accidents and special incidents.
4.2 Test criteria for the regular visual inspection
by the user
• Correct bolt- and nut size plus thread engagement
• Solid bolt xture - Inspection of bolting torque
• The bearing surface of the VWBG-V must lay plane and
holohedral on the bolting area.
• Completeness of the lifting point
• Complete, readable WLL statements as well as manufacturer
sign.
• Deformation at load bearing components like base body,
suspension ring and threaded pin.
• Mechanical damage, like strong notches, especially in areas
where tensile stress occurs.

4.3 Additional test criteria for the
competent person / repair worker
• Reduction of cross section caused by wear > 10 %, or when
the wear lenses have been reached in the main load bearing
directions
• Strong corrosion
• Function and damage of bolt threads and nuts
• further checks may be required, depending on the
result of the risk assessment (e.g. testing for cracks in
load-bearing parts).
